Is Saddam Hussein the new Elvis Presley? This is the issue disturbing sections of the Bush Administration. Will they ever be able to prove that he definitely died when four 2,000lb bombs were dropped on his favoured restaurant a fortnight ago, or will his whereabouts always be a mystery?
Can the military campaign be considered a complete success while these questions remain unanswered? Will there be constant rumours of sightings, occasional cryptic messages, or a chat show on Abu Dhabi television?
I think a lot of people in the media get caught up in whether Saddam is alive because he is a media celebrity. It can't be forgotten that no American ever saw Hitler dead. The Russians said that they found his burnt body. We put so much on the personality, but it's really the system they create that's dangerous. Hitler didn't go around killing people with his own two hands. When we crush the systems, we crush the danger.
